npm - how to show the latest version of a package

Question

How do I use npm to show the latest version of a module? I am expecting something like npm --latest express to print out v3.0.0.

Answer 1

There is also another easy way to check the latest version without going to NPM if you are using VS Code.

In package.json file check for the module you want to know the latest version. Remove the current version already present there and do CTRL + space or CMD + space(mac).The VS code will show the latest versions
